7:24

homs. I do know that one

7:27

mates there a few items use

7:29

in this space. Oh one of

7:31

them is over institute G. if

7:33

you want to go speak to

7:35

her name's Zoe I think. Great

7:38

great thank you for taking these.

7:40

Oh off Now. And

7:43

you don't mind if I record

7:45

so now you know are located.

7:51

At six we're he would

7:53

Zoe who worked on Solar

7:55

Sunday with job as. Savers and

7:58

as you on this. How many other. And

8:00

boy. Is

8:02

seven of us and you'd turn up

8:04

for work every day, Read lines and

8:07

go home. Yeah, it. So

8:09

yeah, we basically does. The director

8:11

hadn't really been told anything by

8:13

Dunk and so it was just

8:15

about lions, lions lions and them.

8:18

Occasional blocking a season. We.

8:22

Were never given the whole script,

8:24

so was. Like by we

8:26

too we would his plan around any than

8:28

a couple last as it was just. getting

8:31

more more sketchy elsa. We

8:33

googled the Vita saturday night and

8:35

she basically didn't exist. Are

8:38

you spelling that? J C

8:40

L Y And as a

8:42

lot. Of understood.

8:45

Continue. Well yeah, that

8:47

was dodgy in. there was no production

8:49

teams, no one knew what the movie

8:51

was about. he was in it when

8:54

it was gonna be in principal photography.

8:56

right? Nothing on Tom Cruise

8:58

and Emma Stone. I mean,

9:01

I don't think anyone really. Bought that

9:03

after a couple of days. Tables

9:05

did. Yeah, maybe he did. He

9:07

was panic. he is. Yes, The

9:09

my age and embraced me he'd been like take

9:11

the money dunno what it is. That see

9:14

Sunday way. Whereas Dubose a he thought

9:16

this was like the be all and

9:18

end. Oh yeah this was legit big

9:20

break stuff. Who

9:22

did your agent speak to her to to

9:25

get you the rope? Clinton? He

9:27

just tired a bunch of us from the

9:29

same agency know additions know nothing. And

9:32

we. Let

9:35

me put something to so. We

9:39

believe the movie to be a

9:41

fake, a ruse to get the

9:43

attention and crucially the time of

9:46

job. as Wilson right. yeah

9:48

do you or any of the

9:50

other performers have any inclination as

9:53

to why somebody would want to

9:55

dogfish mr wilson catfish for a

9:57

catfish excuse me I

10:00

don't know. He's... Like

10:03

he's lovely. Don't get me wrong, but he's

10:05

well off, isn't he? Like

10:07

I don't think he needs to worry about day rates

10:10

and pideaums and stuff. So

10:12

someone... Yeah.

10:16

Actually thinking about it... Yeah,

10:18

if you were trying to get his attention, you... You

10:22

can't entice him with money. You

10:25

can't like appeal to his bank balance. You've got to

10:27

appeal to his heart. And I

10:30

guess this world means a lot to him. Well,

10:34

that is summed up pretty perfectly. You know,

10:36

it's like some sort of Trojan horse. He

10:38

can't see anything beyond this... This

10:41

amazing gift that's landed in his

10:43

lap. Quite right. I

10:46

need more answers. And

10:49

I think they like Saxe-Coburg Square. Thank

10:52

you, Zoe. Yeah, no worries. Give

10:55

J-Bergs my best, yeah? I'm

10:59

not sure. Oh,

11:02

he... Nothing's

11:05

actually happened to him. That he's

11:07

aware of. He's lost a job that

11:09

never existed in the first place, right?

11:11

Right. So... What's

11:15

the problem? You know, he hasn't been

11:17

kidnapped or murdered. He hasn't been robbed. He hasn't had

11:19

his... I

11:22

don't know, his identity stolen or anything that

11:24

we know of. So what's the problem? And

11:27

that, what, is the pressure

11:29

point of this case? That's

11:31

the pressure. Indeed. Once

11:34

we apply the weight of our thinking

11:36

on that singular point, the case

11:38

will open up. Mmm. So

11:43

what's happened to him? Yep.

11:51

It's a thinker. We're

11:53

embankment. Nope. Taryn

11:55

Cross. I think it's closer if we get off

11:57

that embankment. That's

12:00

a nice thought, but it's 33 metres less if we

12:02

get off here at Charing Cross. Feel free to join

12:04

me. If not, I'm more than willing to wait at

12:06

Faxcovoke Square for the four minutes that will take you

12:08

to catch me up. I realise

12:10

also that your bladder is full. Charing

12:13

Cross has toilets. Embankment does

12:15

not. Fine. Yes,

12:26

12:28

That's her story. Some fancy

22:07

thanking investors... Nope,

22:10

apologising to investors. Tickets

22:13

to the Opera tonight. Hey,

22:15

what are you doing? Where

22:17

are you going, Sherlock? Sherlock, where

22:19

are you going? Dr Watson,

22:21

this is the part where you tell our

22:23

listeners that Miss Amanda Merriweather is being robbed.

22:25

Her banking firm has been infiltrated by a

22:28

hostile perpetrator who's been sucking out funds, harvesting

22:30

data and driving her company into the

22:32

dirt. And if you come with me,

22:34

we can catch those responsible. What

22:37

do you say? Well... where

22:40

are we going? To the Opera! Ah,

22:43

what... Is

22:46

he in it? Hmm? The theatre?

22:49

Yeah, lots of people still into this shit.

22:51

Excuse me, sorry, sorry, there you go. Thank

22:54

you. Enjoy the show. Should be a good one,

22:56

eh? How

23:00

you quit this programme? Well, you

23:02

shouldn't have bought one then. Must be

23:04

a nice. I'm supporting the arts. Put

23:06

your head down. Immediately. Jesus, why? Is

23:08

it a sniper? No, I'm just trying

23:10

to see if I can spot her.

23:12

Oh. A sniper, Watson, come

23:14

on. What? You made me jump. You

23:17

told me this whole time this case is going to be

23:19

exhilarating and now look, I've been dragged

23:21

along to the bloody Opera and I've dragged the listeners

23:23

along too. Oh

23:25

yeah, I should have probably given them some shout-outs to keep them happy.

23:28

Erm, so, Gene from the Philippines!

23:31

Shout-out to South Suns, to

23:34

Book Health from Melbourne,

23:36

Australia. To my

23:38

mate Lexi, to Katie, to

23:40

Basler from Brunei, to

23:43

Amanda, who seems to have binged all the

23:45

episodes in record time, so congrats, Amanda. Erm...

23:49

Yeah, shout-outs complete, I think. Er, yeah, so,

23:51

Sat at the Opera. With

23:53

my programme for the show, What Opera? I

23:56

hear you cry. Who cares? Here's my answer.

23:58

Oh, look, shall I? My

24:00

phone. My phone's found drunken Ross on IMDB.

24:04

A bunch of films, I've never heard of.

24:07

But... I mean, is that

24:09

a real fate? Is that

24:12

an AI fate? Is that real? I mean, look, that

24:14

looks AI, doesn't it? Hello?

24:18

Master detective. Great.

24:22

Just read my 8 quid's programme, shall I?

24:26

Bit of water, best selling paper back for that. Bohemia.

24:30

Reimagined homage to Vucini's

24:33

masterpiece. Yep.

24:36

Sure. Oh,

24:39

cast list. Adrianna Yavinen as

24:42

Mimi. Lucasana as

24:44

Marcelo. Irene Adler

24:47

as Musetta. Francessek.

24:49

Becker as Rodolfo. There.

24:52

I see our victim. Who? Meriwether?

24:55

Indeed. Right, well, let's

24:57

go have a chat, shall we? No. We

24:59

mustn't. Why not? We must

25:01

wait until the intermission. Oh

25:15

God, can we leave now? No. Right,

25:17

unless you tell me why we're here, I'm

25:19

going. Okay, no. Tell

25:22

me. Tell the microphone. Recording

25:24

devices are prohibited in the theatre.

25:27

Sherlock, documenting the case could prove

25:29

very useful. I told you why

25:32

we're here. No, you can't. Alright,

25:34

fine, fine. Just elaborate on what

25:36

you said. Easy.

25:39

Oh, for a

25:49

second. Watson. Prepare

25:52

for the performance of the night. What?

25:55

Oh my goodness! Dolly Golly Ross

25:57

goodness! Amanda Meriwether, it's been bloody

25:59

young! On Earth.

26:01

Do I know you? Don't recognise me

26:03

without the dinner jacket! Sorry,

26:06

I can't quite place

26:08

you. We had a table together

26:10

at the wedding. The Royal Wedding.

26:13

Which one? Gary and Meg. Harry. Harry

26:17

and Meghan. Ah, right,

26:19

yeah, I think you look

26:21

familiar actually. Been following your work at Blue

26:23

Tech Capital. Sure it'll turn around.

26:26

Difficult week. Tough markets for us at

26:28

the moment. Really, yeah, really

26:31

tough. The market is quite strong

26:33

now, isn't it? Especially with our

26:35

usual track record in this part of the industry.

26:38

Mmm. Mmm? I've seen your

26:40

competitors are doing brilliantly. Strange

26:43

how Blue Tech is falling away so

26:45

emphatically. I put

26:47

a rising tide lifts all.

26:49

Super yachts. What? What

26:53

are you getting at? I work on behalf of one

26:55

of your biggest clients and they want answers before we

26:57

pull the plug. What? You

27:00

heard me. You're just buying time

27:02

to calculate the correct response. Allow

27:05

me to give you three seconds without

27:07

suffice. Can... Can

27:11

I get you a drink? Now

27:13

that is the correct response.

27:25

I can't believe Amanda Merriweather bought

27:28

me a drink. Yep. Cheers.

27:33

Cheers. What's

27:37

that? Oh, I'm doing a

27:39

podcast. You can't record this. No,

27:43

I'm serious. Turn it off. Oh, right, no

27:45

worries. Let me just... Oh,

27:51

there. That's that done. Ah,

27:54

here he is. Miss Merriweather. You have a hunch.

27:56

I do. Yes. Otherwise,

27:59

I'll be back. you wouldn't currently be seeking

28:01

help from the authorities. How to... It...

28:04

yeah, yeah. I'm working

28:06

hard with the cops and others to

28:10

indulge a particular... ...hunch

28:14

of mine, yeah. What's your hunch? Some

28:17

sort of foul play, I think. In

28:19

what respect? Look, in my

28:22

industry, I compete with a

28:24

bunch of men that hate me. HATE

28:27

me. This is all we've

28:29

got to go. And... My

28:31

problem is... I don't

28:34

know. Just... something

28:36

can work. My network

28:39

security team are clueless. I've

28:41

fired a staff member under suspicion of

28:43

exposing trade secrets, I'm suing people for

28:45

possible breaches of NDAs. Something

28:48

is going on, goddamn it, and I've

28:51

got to fix it. I've got to fix it now.

28:53

Your losses began last week, Miss

28:56

Merriweather. That's... yeah.

29:00

Yeah, that's probably right. A week? All

29:05

that for one bad week, you fired

29:07

someone and cracked open a lawsuit. You

29:10

don't understand. This is

29:12

a great week for the

29:14

market. Like you

29:16

said, it's a rising tide, but

29:19

we are the only ones drowning,

29:21

despite normally being the

29:23

best swimmers. So...

29:26

bad investments, basically. They're

29:28

not. You don't

29:31

get to where I am with bad

29:33

investments. They're... Look,

29:38

we target a particular stock. We do

29:40

our research. Often we'll talk to the

29:42

teens behind the products and platforms we invest

29:44

in. It's been the very

29:46

same process from when we were the best

29:49

in the world. Nothing

29:51

has changed. But...

29:56

Everything has changed. Oh,

29:59

God. Second half is starting. I don't

30:01

care. Miss Merriweather, go on.

30:04

Last week was a... a

30:07

big portfolio shift for us. We

30:10

were moving a lot of capital. We use a

30:12

number of trading platforms. They're the quickest, they're the

30:14

safest. I tried new

30:16

ones, I've gone back to old ones.

30:19

I've tried everything, and the

30:21

same thing happens. We go to make

30:23

a large-scale investment to buy up huge sums

30:26

of stock in a company, and

30:28

without fail, the second... the

30:31

half second we go to execute the

30:33

purchase, the share price

30:36

jumps. Five percent, ten percent,

30:38

fifteen percent. More

30:40

often than not, we back out of the purchase. Sometimes

30:43

we swallow the loss and buy it

30:45

at a higher rate, invariably losing our

30:47

margin. And we've

30:50

missed out on two vital IPOs, so...

30:53

yeah, it's uh... it's

30:56

not right. Now this is

30:58

something. Miss Merriweather, I'm going

31:00

to speak to my friends at the Met Police. Enjoy

31:03

the rest of your show, and meet me

31:06

outside your headquarters at Saxe-Coburg Square. Watson?

31:09

Let's go. Oh, right, yeah, hold up. Ah, you're gonna finish that

31:11

Sherlock? Come on. Right, well, thanks for

31:13

the interview. Enjoy the, uh, yeah, that stuff. What interview? Was

31:15

that recording? Uh, oh, this... nah, this, um, this

31:18

wasn't. Oh, this wasn't. Oh, this wasn't. Oh, this wasn't.

31:21

Oh, this wasn't. Oh, this wasn't. Oh, this

31:23

wasn't. Oh, this wasn't. Oh, this

31:25

wasn't. Oh, this wasn't. Yes, this is Sherlock Holmes. Put me

31:27

through to the Strad. She's, uh, not available right now.

31:29

Could I take a message? Of course she's not. Hurry.

31:34

Sherlock, give me the mic. Ah, so you're ready to

31:37

continue your podcast and put the alcohol aside for a

31:39

moment or two?

31:45

Look, you've been dragging me

31:48

around London all day. It's

31:55

late. Every day you meet Amanda Merriweather.

31:57

All right, I'm thirsty. So, I'm just going to go.

31:59

This way, where are we going?

32:02

To the scene of the crime. Right

32:04

here, this supposed robbery you seem convinced of.

32:07

Watson, be prepared to use your gun tonight.

32:09

I... You what? Your

32:12

army pistol. The Colt 42 you spoke

32:14

of. I want

32:16

it loaded and ready for use from my say

32:18

so. What planet do

32:20

you live on? You think I checked my gun in it, Heathrow

32:23

Customs? Well, brought

32:26

it along to the Emperor in case I get a seat

32:28

behind Abraham Bloody Lincoln. So you're

32:30

unprepared, that's what you're saying? I'm a

32:32

normal human being is what I'm saying.

32:34

I don't wander around with a gun.

32:37

Well, I do. On occasion, here,

32:40

got myself a new one for my birthday. Shit. I

32:44

know. It's rather light. It

32:46

only has four bullets, so hopefully there's just a few

32:48

of them. If you... w...

32:51

if you have who? The bank robbers.

32:54

Right, well, this case got out of

32:56

hand pretty quickly. Didn't it? £1

33:28

a month. You won't be

33:30

disappointed, I promise. patreon.com/Sherlock

33:32

& Co. Lovely and jubbly. Oh,

33:34

God, no, you got me saying it

33:36

too.
